So I take it you bought those mainly for aluminum?
Nope. Everything. 2 flute just seem to work better for me for some reason. HSS I can re-sharpen and 2 flute are the easiest to sharpen.
So you've figured out how to correctly and consistently resharpen end mills? Impressive.
Accusize head office/warehouse at Woodbridge, ON basically Toronto via FedEx. On the flip side of things Friday we received an Easter card from my niece in Toronto sent out in lots of time, Canada Post sucks wind did I say that.
I've not used 2 flute HSS on metal only because I don't sharpen EM's. Craig perhaps you would posting several photos of your sharpening jig set up then I just might consider doing that. For me everything is an adventure with this hobby and one has to love that.
Unfortunately I don't quite catch exactly how your sharpening jig is built from your post #46, sorry.
The plans are here. http://homews.co.uk/page121.html You can't sharpen the little stuff but it works ok for 3/8 and up, 2 flt and 4 flt.
@YotaBota made one as well. https://canadianhobbymetalworkers.com/threads/harold-hall-mill-bit-sharpener.2015/
Is it possible for something mailed in Sweden to have a USPS tracking number?
Something doesn't seem right here? CP states the origin is Rancho Cucamonga USA (ya I had to look that one up) yet the tracking states mailed in Sweden?
Banggood indicated that it would ship out of the US.

Oh ya never know with shipping routes, it is possible I suppose. I have my doubts on much of the info tracking systems provide nowadays.
I ordered two switches from Amazon and at the time they said they were both in stock and would be available for quick prime time shipping. Well I knew that it is never 2 day shipping for me but anyhow I ordered them. Today at 5:15 am the tracking showed that one switch left Calgary at 6:31 am this morning with Canada post and won't be here until April 27th. The second switch is coming from Ontario and is supposed to be here today on Puralator.
And you also know too well how Aliexpress tracking and shipping is bogus.
Actually I found Aliexpress tracking pretty darn accurate and detailed. Right down to my item being returned to vendor 5 times LOL.

Rancho Cucamonga - sounds familiar, right next to Ontario - I used to live in California and traveled for hiking extensively.
Aliexpress tracing can be both accurate and terrible, depending on shipping method.
A lot of shippers ship bulk to Canada and then Canada Post to your home, so not bad for tracking there.... then again I just got my very first lost package, in US sent via Canada post. Good thing it was insured - they did require proof of value. And it takes a month to get $ out of them - actually still waiting for the check.

Tom the check's in the mail 
I have had a few things come through Rancho Cucamonga from banggood I figured they had a warehouse there as Crankit confirmed
My frame of reference is the TV show "workaholics" its set there, I have never been to California maybe someday I will get there.

Yup the one switch from Ontario arrived today and the one that apparently left Calgary this morning is still showing it won't arrive until the 27th. Good grief Charlie Brown.
If it shipped from California why has Banggood estimated a month and a half for delivery?

It is no mystery that some sellers sell stuff they do not have in stock - this gives them some headway as to when they need to ship it.
Ya, but this was ordered in the 5th and declared shipped on the 8th and now it's the 23th and USPS indicates nothing but a shipping label has been issued. Canada Post's take on it something else again, mailed from Sweden?

Craig brace for a jar of lingon berries instead of end mills.
